Prepare in urgency to race
Casting off the weight that burdens me
I cannot dare to force the pace
Marathon for life, the road I face

Committed, determined
My gaze is set on finishing

I'm straining to extend the lead
As every evil chases me
One day, one hour, every step

I know, I know
I fix my eyes ahead

Straining on to run without remorse
Casting off mistakes that came before
In my mind, I see a hallowed door
Open arm embrace, I'm reaching for

Just like a breeze is passing me
My stammers, a distant memory
We cannot afford a glance to see
What's gaining or what is history

Unyielding, unflinching
My gaze is set on finishing
